This summer marks the second anniversary of the existence of the School of Arts
& Digital Industries at University of East London. The School continues to grow and
flourish as a vibrant, creative community encompassing disciplines as diverse as
fashion, textiles, film, fine art, journalism, advertising, graphic design, photography,
animation, illustration, digital and multi-media arts, games design, music,
theatre, dance, creative writing, media, cultural and heritage studies. Between
these specialisms, we develop and nourish interdisciplinary collaboration and
innovative approaches to learning and making.
Many of our academic and technical staff are research-active, industry-
engaged and experienced professional practitioners; our alumni frequently
return to provide added experiential value to our provision, and we maintain
close links with employers and leading organisations across the arts, cultural and
creative industries.
This year’s Graduate Fashion Week showcase is especially exciting for us as
we welcome our new Head of Fashion, Ms Dorota Watson, to the University of
East London. Joining our team in March 2013, Dorota has initiated significant
curriculum development within Fashion and Textiles at University of East London.
In the context of University of East London’s Centre for Excellence in Women’s
Entrepreneurship, continued UEL Knowledge Dock support for fashion business
incubation, and ascendance of Stratford’s Westfield as a major retail and
commercial hub, UEL Fashion’s presence at Graduate Fashion Week marks the
opening of a significant period of refreshment and rejuvenation.
Our fashion graduates are poised on the very edge of their futures as designers,
stylists, retailers, entrepreneurs, buyers and so on. They are ready for launch.
Please join me in congratulating them, and wishing them great success at UEL
alumni and the fashion graduates of 2013.
Professor Catherine Harper
Dean of the School of Arts and Digital Industries
Welcome

In March 2013 I was delighted to take up the Post as Head of Fashion at the
University of East London at a time of great change for the department that will
present fantastic new opportunities for students and local industry. The Fashion
department nurtures creativity and business skills for emerging professionals;
these skills will provide a key underpinning for new course provision.
It gives me great pleasure to introduce this year’s final year BA cohort; the work
showcased on the stand celebrates work from the graduating students from
Fashion Design; Fashion Design and Management; Printed Textiles and Fashion
Futures. Students have achieved industry ready creative proposals, which have
amalgamated their learning whilst at UEL, that includes a period in industry on
a placement.
Creative solutions are evidenced through the catwalk presentation, textile
interpretations and ‘alternative practice’, which include magazine and business
proposals.
The Fashion department at UEL has excellent resources that include a dedicated
machine workshop, screen printing facilities, access to a digital bureau and
studio space. Collaborative projects are encouraged between students within
the department and more widely across the school.
The students’ learning is facilitated through a dedicated staff team, which
includes visiting tutors who add industry currency; other staff members are either
full time or part time and are either research active or practice based.
I very much look forward to the year ahead.
Dorota Watson

She was the last queen of France, both vilified and exalted for her decadent
lifestyle, her essence captured in this collection.
Through a vibrant palette of pinks and blues, seventeenth century silhouettes are
dissected into playful separates. Corsetry is reinvented. Her rebellious attitude
is reflected in subversive latex trims, bold and irreverent, offset against intricate
pleating and luxurious brocades.
Bloomers and chemises are worn with nonchalance under a sumptuous frockcoat.
Off-key prints, blurred, distorted and magnified are splashed across cascading
layers on voluminous skirts, embracing a certain joie de vivre, all inspired by a fun
frivolous and vastly extravagant personality.

This collection has its roots firmly embedded in the fixed gear cycling community,
one that is widely noted for its strong street style and philosophy. Innovative use of
fabrics, prints and materials combine with simple and exciting designs to create
this look.
Taking inspiration from the streets of East London, performance fabrics and
classic British tailoring are juxtaposed with relaxed, understated shapes. In one
look, a structured tweed jacket is combined with square shorts layered over
fluorescent printed leggings. Functional, performance sportswear is transformed
by the integration of hidden pockets, reflective highlights, reinforced seams and
ergonomic shapes.

Victory and Triumph explores the powerful warrior women of medieval history,
such as Joan of Arc and Boudicca, who inspired this collection.
Strong structures and silhouettes reflect the concept. The processes of cording,
pleating and laser cutting techniques along with the use of accent trims create
a medieval look with a contemporary twist.
Luxurious fabrics are mixed with leather and suede, incorporating a rich colour
palette of soft silvers, browns, beige, cream and stone.

A woodland walk inspired the collection. The dull, wet forest was gloomy and
a flash of orange caught the eye. Orange fungus was highlighted from the dull
background. Ideas have been developed from an image of this.
The sloping hoods of the mushrooms reflect the dropped shouldered silhouette.
The oversized umbrella heads are too large for the slim stalk. The inner mushrooms
intricate design is reflected in the pleated details throughout the collection.
Black; in various fabrics which come together to exaggerate the variety of
textures and shades created, with the vibrant flash of orange that initially caught
the eye.

“U.O.NOTT’’ (Under Over Knott) The knotting of childhood paper-chains and the
doodles of Spirographs on a math book were the original starting point for this
clever and simple concept.
Fluid, curved lines are inspired by the soft 3D movement of light and geometry.
The use of simple, flat and light fabrics is a reflection of this childlike approach.
Some are bonded to create a fuller feel and a clean contrast in colour, whilst
effectively manipulated overlays provide sculptural details.
These elements create an effortless feel to this intelligent collection.

Women who cover themselves modestly, starting from the headscarf to loose
clothing, first inspired this collection Modestia. References have been taken from
women of various faiths, be it Muslims or Orthodox Christians, with the common
concept of covering.
Dressing modestly is now seen as being more interesting; the aim of the collection
is to deliver a message that this can in fact be fashionable, fun and creative whilst
looking dynamic. Prints and laser cutting are used to suggest pattern and lace,
and style lines take influence from wrapping, using the unexpected asymmetry
of drape in a more controlled way.

The house at the end of the lane has been abandoned for years. The gate is
overgrown with ivy and the iron is rusting beneath. The trees in the garden are
hundreds of years old and bare from the perils of winter. The branches sprawl
along, tumbling down, forming intricate patterns as one intertwines with another
and another.......
The silhouette is bold and strong. It creates contrast; mystery lies within the parts
that you can’t see, hidden within the blurred lines.
Fabrics are luxurious but timeless. Silk, wool, and leather have been aged with
subtlety and integrity, through print and surface processes.

‘One approach to understanding the role of sleep is to study the deprivation of it’
Inspired by the feelings and hallucinations of a sleep-deprived being, this
collection is the 3D representation of those irrational moments when falling into
a REM sleep. Sleep itself becomes a fantasy, the creation of a new dimension of
desire.
The unusual association of texture and feelings is represented using the
transparency of organza and chiffon, fused with the heavy draping that rests
against the metallic structure. As a whole, it embodies illusion and fluid sensitivity
through the faded palette of grey and blue.

Exploring changes in modern society, DNA and the merging of races; this concept
raises a question of identity – will we still be unique in 50 years time? Embracing
the identities of many, the focus is on creating a collection of separates for the
strong modern urban citizen.
Design lines create a dialogue between fluid asymmetry and clean geometry.
Flaming red trumpeting subtle surreal pencil-drawn prints, reflects the merging
of the distorted crowd. Pencil skirts combine with strong jacket shapes to evoke
elegant effortlessness. Clever details accentuate the grown-up feminine feel.
Fabrics are modern and sharp, with digital prints and embellished beading.

Trees and bees are the two key inspirations emerging through this collection.
Linear style lines, geometric shapes and prints are combined together to blend
into an array of simple sophistication.
Colour and print compliment the sharpness of the classic, neat and minimalist cuts
that give this collection a refined look. Black, cream, mustard and aubergine, are
used in conjunction with an edgy geometric print which has been inspired by the
structure and the pattern of beehives.
Fabrics are lightweight but strong and able to carry the structure of the pieces
within this Spring/Summer 2014 womenswear collection.

This collection is inspired by the harsh reality of an eating disorder, which can
leave the strong angular lines of the skeleton visible to the eye.
Harsh awkward shapes are created around the joints - the shoulders and hips,
which influence the use of tucks and gathers to create an organic, sculptural
silhouette.
Shapes are further enhanced by a dynamic print, complemented by the use
of laser-cut detail, which mimic the print shapes. These techniques have been
used though out the collection, created both digitally and naturally, providing
depth to the garments with a powerful aesthetic.

Inspired by the natural and physical ways of been trapped, “Let Me Escape” is
the 3D translation for the individual not wanting the moments experienced whilst
in routine places.
Escaping becomes a dream, the surrealism of new dimensions of choice.
The association of texture and feelings is represented using the transparency of
silk and denser cotton fabrics, fused with the indefinite ribbons that accentuate
the long days. As a whole, it manifests illusion and fluid sensitivity through the
plain white to the absorbant black colour palette.
‘Let Me Escape’- A surreal collection intense in delicacy created for tenacious
women.

Greco Roman sculpture and Art Deco architecture in London is the foundation
of this collection. Post-modern references build on this, creating an unusual and
unique approach to women’s-wear.
The bold geometry of Art Deco is juxtaposed against the broken lines of ancient
ruins creating a striking visual that challenges normality.
The somewhat boisterous technical shapes are balanced with softer frills and
pleats. Neon tweed adds texture and depth, resulting in a statement collection
that remains ultra feminine and wearable.

Frail Existence, Certain Demise.
Life is precious; this shouldn’t be underestimated. We as individuals are damaged
so easily, both emotionally and physically. Death is the only certainty we face in
this futile cycle.
This collection focuses on these two key elements; using ridged boning and
structure, shapes are inspired by corsetry, coupled with delicate embellishment
detailing to underline our decaying frailness. We move through life on a backdrop
of washed out and dark colours that create a mystery around the garments and
the subject matter, creating an eerie ambience.

A fusion of male and female clothing from the 17th century inspires this collection,
Take Me Back.
The focus of the collection is in the use of techniques such as layering, gathering
and the contrasting of different fabric textures, such as wool, knit, satin and
corduroy.
Influences are huge silhouettes, layering of fabrics, men’s tailoring and the mixing
of key classic pieces such as waistcoats. A sense of soft tailoring can be felt, as
the simplicity of the look is accentuated by the clean but interesting cutting.
The colour palette is strong, using only deep burgundy, reds and warm purple.

Inspired by religious and customary garments worn by Jews during special
festivals, Orthodox is based on hidden aspects of Jewish life.
Lineage can be dated back to biblical times, their strength and endurance is
what unites this culture; fellowship and tradition. This reflects the mood of this
collection.
Encompassing a rich and intriguing heritage the collection uses soft tailoring in
a rainbow of black, greys and stripes with white accents. Menswear-inspired
silhouettes are combined with softly draping trousers, contrasting layers, and
tightly wrapped belts to create a powerful yet feminine feel. Fabrics include
traditional woven stripe shirting and textured wools.

Does a robot dream to live like a human? Not only repeating it’s routine, but
enjoying life with emotions and love? This classic Sci-Fi story can be seen in
modern society.
Solid black British wool and neatly lined binary embroidery, on crisp tailored jackets
and huge Japanese trousers, give a strong robotic persona to the collection. This
gradually transforms to a soft and subtle silhouette and colour palette, imitating
how life changes when people find true love.
Smooth skin-like silk and voluminous, richly layered organzas are hand dyed to
mimic human skin and eyes. Round silhouettes accentuate the female form.

Cut Me to See Who I am… an aristocratic infused collection which explores the
serial murders committed by Jack the Ripper in Whitechapel, London 1888. The
identity of this calculated murderer is still unknown, which allows for this concept to
be explored. It uses cutting lines and folds that represent the uniquely identifiable
fingerprint and shapes that were carved into the victims’ bodies, combined with
the hourglass silhouette. Fabrics and prints reflect those worn by both women
and men at this time, in deep red, brown, mustard and grey tones to depict the
eerie dark atmosphere of Victorian East London.

This collection is influenced by a spiritual belief that every human being has a
soul, which evolves from our actions in previous lives.
Some minerals and especially geodes are parallel to our souls, as they are formed
in similar ways. These Earth’s treasures have inspired this concept - a hidden
beauty beneath an ugly surface.
The collection is experimental and focuses on texture, using an innovative
technique of ‘burning’ to create a strong organic look, which is combined with
clean and sharp lines. This evident contrast plays a crucial role in the overall
collection’s silhouette.

Weapons, destruction and armoury have inspired a collection based on modern
conflict.
A combination of panel cuttings and diaphanous textures gives the feel of a
strong yet luxurious look, with defined lines shaping around the body to enhance
the powerful feel.
A colour palette of browns, khaki greens and bold, strong gold has taken the
military look to another level of extravagance. Chain mail and pieces of metal
have been added to the fabric palette to give a more substantial feel of
destruction, keeping the clean cut lines for a neat look of luxury.

Digital ghosts. This collection is inspired by blurred faceless people wandering
in cyberspace. Busy anonymous bodies that are stretched or multiplied by
technology,so that they end up being confused images of data.
Covered silhouettes combine asymmetry and distorted shapes. Solid coloured
flat fabrics are used to accentuate the print inspired by the endless amount of
data surrounding us.
Layered transparencies blur the detail whilst the solid construction details are
enhanced.
Colours are neutral. Black, white, beige.

Caged Freedom, explores the fusion of emancipation and liberation, similar but
yet so conflicting. The inspiration stems from the anatomy of birds; their body form,
their structure and the manner in which the neck moves as it turns. Smocking plays
a key role in the collection emulating the feeling of movement and formation,
combining synthetic geometry with nature’s delicacy and strength through form.
Alluring sturdy silhouettes are created using strong fabrics. Sharp cuts give it a
dynamic feel. Black and white enhance the form, effortless colours that work like
magic giving strength and depth to each outfit.

Encouraging a modern take on the INUIT. With soft silks, subtle embellishment and

Would you die for someone you love? What about someone you don’t even
know? That is SACRIFICIAL LOVE.
Based on the crucifixion of Christ and inspired by the methods used to inflict
bruising and lacerations such as ‘Cat O’ Nine Tails’, this collection is also inspired
by the architecture of religious buildings and the covers of leather bound ancient
bibles.
SACRIFICIAL LOVE is a collection of cathedral etched leathers, gold chain
embellishments and bruise printed silks that reflect this beautiful ordeal.

survival, the word ‘BROKEN’ has inspired a mature and contemporary collection.
Mismatched cutting lines give an edge to otherwise classic pieces, accentuated

Fabrics are luxurious in fibre and diverse in their finish; ranging from fine silk jerseys

Euphonic-Behind the wall is the Echo; a collection which expresses self-reflection
in the origins and identity in society.
Silhouettes are inspired by traditional Korean costume mixed with the military,
a reminder of the separation of North and South, and of the historical border of
East and West Germany, where the designer was born and raised.
Through plain fabrics and multi-coloured landscape prints a personal journey is
explored and utilitarianism and sensitivity are juxtaposed. The contrast of earthy
tones and pastel brights reflects the reality of being disassociated in the same
territory, alongside the significant fall of the Berlin wall.

requiring initiative and self-motivation, he has learnt how to use not only qualitative
and quantitative research methods, but also to understand how to exploit his
senses and intuition in order to predict macro and micro trends in various sectors,
including fashion, food or technology.
